دانلود کتاب اعجوبه ای از نابغه جهانی رابرت لزلی الیس، 1817، 1859

This book bears my name on its cover, but it is really the result of a collaboration; as such, it forms a collective body of knowledge. It would have been impossible without the help, support and guidance of Christopher Stray, who has made the process of editing, transcribing annotating and proofreading a pleasure and who has done more work than I would ever have dared to ask for. My gratitude goes to him as well as to all the authors – to June Barrow-Green and Tony Crilly, for their help with mathematical technicalities in letters and diaries and with compiling the appendices, to John Gibbins, for his deep-felt dedication, to Joan Richards, for sharing her transcriptions and scans of the Ellis-Forbes correspondence, to Jonathan Smith, for allowing me to draw on his vast archival knowledge, and to Stephen Stigler, for his willingness to return to Ellis; to Nicolas Bell and Boyd Hilton, for their support of this project; to Arthur Gibson and David Palfrey, for their contribution to the 2018 conference from which this book resulted; and to the staff of the Wren Library, Trinity College, Cambridge. I would also like to thank the series editor, Catherine Abou-Nemeh, for her support, and the two anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments. For allowing the reproduction of the diaries and letters, I would like to thank the Master and Fellows of Trinity College, Cambridge; Cambridge University Library and St Andrews University Library (Special Collections). For allowing the reproduction of images thanks are due to the Master and Fellows of Trinity College, Cambridge and to the Royal Astronomical Society.
